edge

This is ST-761, a US Army tug built in northern Alabama at Decatur in 1943. Sold to France Fenwick in 1950 as RYHOPE, she was sold again in 1970 to a Yugoslavian company as KASTOR. Scrapped 1986 at Split.

It's amazing what can be found out ^^ If I remember correctly, the foundations for cranes and other yard equipment is still visible at the rivers edge there. Could well be from the same yard. Bill Quay hides some interesting secrets - some very dark ones too. I think I know where I'll be heading soon!

Edit; It is indeed this yard I was describing. Once the weather clears I'll grab some pics and explore the area..

Wonderful sharp photo.

Easy to take this image for granted. But it would appear to have been taken from a boat, is in focus with a good acceptable depth of focus. Great shot. I was born in a house up the bank (not the one in the picture) and used to play around here. Fishing and hunting for crab bate. Those were the days.

fucking geordies!

this is crying out for a joke caption

wow..

Wow , this is a rare Photo. Great Photo of the Past.

Obviously fake. People are nearly as big as the elephant, crack in photo makes part of building disappear(?), Elephants eyes appear drawn in, feet look like they've been cut out of somewhere. Also, ropes would dig into the skin of a 5 ton elephant if it were lifted in this way. You really need to note that this photograph is altered.

Bostock & Wombwell's Menagerie on the road. The elephant is pulling one of the trucks, behind it you can just make out one of the camels which is assisting.

Very likely Bostock & Wombwell's Menagerie on the Great North Road, Tyneside 1913
